Burning Body Found In Castaic, Calif. Where Naperville Central Grad Went Missing

(CBS) — A new layer of mystery in the search for a missing teenager who grew up in Naperville.

19-year-old Bryce Laspisa vanished driving to his parents’ home near Los Angeles. Wednesday, the remains of a man were found near the search area. But are the cases connected? CBS 2’s Brad Edwards spoke to Bryce’s family.

A week in, authorities focus on charred remains of what authorities say is an adult male who appears to be set a-fire.

In Schererville Indiana, his uncle Frank David’s gut says, “That that’s more than likely him. I don’t want to face that right now.”

His nephew Bryce drove to break-up with his girlfriend last week and ran out of gas on his way back in a mountainous region of LA County. His parents became worried. He said he’d be home.

His overturned vehicle was later found and now that body was discovered near there.
